How Shall I Interpret My Soul?
By Reid Baer

How shall I interpret my soul?
Name the wild numinous within?
By charting the stars or reading
the lines on my hand – by counting
the ways with my fingers from Jung -
starting with my capable thumb?
• the creative expression
• the philosophical speculation
• the inflated self-religious
• the licentious indulgence
And here … the psychological
power of symbolism from
the personal and primordial
in my waking and dreaming hours!
